Hitherto Germany's representative−her famed "Iron Man," Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichsbank−had hung doggedly to $332,000,000 as the greatest sum the Reich could possibly pay. Last week, however, he appeared so struck by the figure $420,000,000 that, clapping on a Hamburg hat and greatcoat, he caught the Nord Express for Germany...

As the placid wife of improvidential Hjalmar Ekdal in The Wild Duck she filled an ample role to which her body, her accomplishments and her God better suit her than the tense thing to which she has tried to suit herself in Hedda Gabler. She gives a certain effect of languor, but it is the languor, not of a bitter neurotic, but of a temporarily awakened marble slowly reverting to stone...
